My beautiful Nan Jan, I have always said she was more a mom to me and my mom more like a no nonsense straight talking dad. Lol Jan baked for us yummy scones, listened whole heartedly to our venting and always had a colorful view on things. I adored her, she was the Ying to moms Yang, they were perfect friends two peas in an odd shaped lil pod. I am so thankful they found each other, they enjoyed adventuring to new towns, trying new foods and of coarse what can I say about their gardening, I would show up for a visit and find them both in the garden as usual, Jan I would find lying down full body in the dirt and mom butt up in the air, both either weeding or planting. The best of times for sure.
I remember one time, for what felt like an eternity but was likely not more then a few days if that, I was torn in pieces, Jan was not speaking to me and I was desperately trying to figure out what I did and what to do to fix it, I was so sad and fearing what ever could I have done, I cried to everyone about it and then one day we some how discovered we both felt and thought the same thing about the other! She thought I was upset with her! We cried and laughed so hard, how could we be so sensitive and foolish! We promised right then and there we would never act like that again and never ever think the we could do anything wrong! Queen Jan forever XOXO RIP
